Hi sims,
Hi sims,
I want to set a limit to the number of times a text file(s) can be
downloaded.
Example, say I have a group of 100 people eligible to download a file
(put url "http://www.somebody.com/hamburger.txt"; ) with a Rev app.
I only want the first fifty to be able to get the file, anyone that
tries after that would be told "Sorry, snooze and you lose".
I might want to be able to set up many such limited situations
at the same time (different files available for different groups).
I've not done any Rev CGI 'stuff', is this the sort of thing that
could be done with Rev CGI?
Yes, of course!
Just check/write a simple textfile(s) with a counter when your CGI
starts.
looks I was a bit too fast!
The query
put url "http://www.somebody.com/hamburger.txt"; into whatever
will be handled by the webserver running at "www.somebody.com" but not
by your CGI!
In that case you will have to script your CGI script to return that
namely file and you will have to:
put url "http://www.somebody.com/cgi_that_delivers_the_file_hamburger";
into whatever
and check "$QUERY_STRING" in your CGI(s)
Anyway, it is possible :-)
sims
Regard
Best
